My apartment doesn't have a dishwasher, so I wash all of mine by hand. I rinse out dirty dishes (complete with non-soapy sponge) as soon as I'm done using them - that way I don't have to worry about them getting nasty if they sit on my counter for a few days. lol And it keeps the water clean when I do wash them.
I fully intend to have a dishwasher when I have a house, though. And for that, food would be scraped off into the trash, but otherwise it goes straight to the dishwasher. That is what I did growing up and our dishwasher did a great job (and with a family of seven where all meals were homecooked, it saw a lot of action!) ETA: our dishwasher was a power house (not cheap), and mom would soak really groady dishes in the sink to help loosen stuff up before placing it in.

If I don't rinse my dishes first, I tend to find caked on food when it comes out of the dishwasher. I have found I don't have to clean them as well if I use the Finish dishwashing tabs/pack versus a powder like Cascade or something.

Our dishwasher either sucks, or the dishwashing liquid we use sucks, because if you don't rinse them, they don't get clean.

The dogs almost always get to lick the plates. They are so conditioned that they sleep while we eat until they see the last bite come off the plate amd then they are up and ready for action lol

I'm picky about dishes I bought/picked out and Katalin's dishes - those are always scrubbed, rinsed and scoured over before they go into the dishwasher. Others - I leave to my parents/bro lol

I never did when I had a dishwasher. Now I don't have one, so I wash by hand.
Although it's really awful, many times I would get lazy and just use disposable stuff so I wouldn't have to wash it. Like...90% of the time :P
